The paper focuses on the theme of divine grace, human agency and divine foreknowledge in Jerome. In his ascetic writings, Jerome praises virginity as a special gift having two aspects: it demands a special effort exceeding ordinary duties and it promises a special reward. People are not given the same measure of divine grace. There is no injustice because effort of one's will is more relevant than human deeds. Divine foreknowledge does not restrain human freedom because God does not determine what will happen but only foreknows it. Human nature is weak and fragile, unable to avoid sinning continuously. However, free will is indispensable for any morally good agency; necessity excludes merit. In every morally good action, one has to will and strive, and God strengthens the effort and brings it to completion. What is not quite clear is how to reconcile Jerome's claim about inability of human will to avoid sinning with his optimistic view of initium voluntatis.

The article deals with John Cassian's view of the divine grace and the human will. Cassian stresses the necessity and primacy of the divine help, our human will is weakened by sin but not totally corrupted. With regard to the salvation, one's own effort alone is not sufficient, but God who wants all men to be saved, never ceases to come to one's aid. On the basis of the Scriptures, Cassian sees the co-operation of grace and will interwoven so enigmatically that it is not always clear which comes into operation first: sometimes it is God who takes the initiative, in other instances the initiative is ascribed to man. Cassian's views on grace and will were interpreted as anti-augustinian and called 'semipelagian'. Recent scholarly discussion has rejected this interpretation as ill-founded and the term is now regarded as misleading.
